Last Week in AI
Skynet Today
Rapid-fire digests of model releases, lab politics, and benchmark papers for software engineers tracking the machine learning frontier.
Why we picked this
We picked Last Week in AI because it cuts through the daily noise of tech PR and treats machine learning progress as an industrial reality. The hosts track compute deals, hardware bottlenecks, and lab governance with a technical rigor missing from general interest podcasts. Instead of breathless speculation, they offer a steady, highly specific accounting of how frontier labs actually operate and where the industry hits its limits.
